Description
- The present invention relates to a culture medium for pluripotent stem cells that does not contain serum or a differentiation-suppressing protein, but enables the maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state.
- For their pluripotency and proliferation potency, pluripotent stem cells, such as iPS cells and ES cells, are expected for use in cell transplantation treatments, drug discovery, and the like, or as a tool to study diseases. Pluripotent stem cells, when in the presence of serum or factors appropriate for the cells, are usually capable of self-replication while almost indefinitely maintaining an undifferentiated state. As appropriate factors for human pluripotent stem cells, for example, differentiation-suppressing proteins, such as bFGF and TGFβ, have been reported. However, these differentiation-suppressing proteins are generally very expensive, and a large amount thereof is required to maintain an undifferentiated state; thus, the use of pluripotent stem cells is significantly hindered in terms of cost.
- Further, pluripotent stem cells are required to have uniform properties when applied to cell transplantation; therefore, as a medium component, it is desirable to use a minimum amount of proteins whose properties are highly likely to vary from lot to lot.
- Under such circumstances, there have recently been reports regarding a medium (E8 medium) comprising only four types of proteins, bFGF, TGFβ, insulin, and transferrin (Non-patent Literature (NPL) 1, Non-patent Literature (NPL) 2, and Patent Literature (PTL) 1), and a medium comprising only three types of proteins, Wnt, insulin, and transferrin (Non-patent literature (NPL) 3 and Patent Literature (PTL) 2).
- However, these two media still contain bFGF, TGFβ, Wnt, and the like, which are generally very expensive, and media that can be prepared at a lower cost are thus in demand. Additionally, the growth of cells is relatively slow in the latter medium, requiring a larger volume of the medium to obtain a certain number of cells.

- An object of the present invention is to provide a medium that contains fewer protein components and enables the maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state. Another object of the present invention is to provide a medium that is prepared at a lower cost. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a medium in which pluripotent stem cells are more efficiently grown.
- As a result of extensive research, the present inventors found that the combined use of a GSK3β inhibitor and a DYRK inhibitor as medium components solves the above problems. The present inventors also found that a further use of an NFAT inhibitor in combination enables more efficient growth of pluripotent stem cells. The present inventors conducted further research based on these findings, and have accomplished the present invention.
- More specifically, the present invention encompasses the following embodiments:
-
Item 1. A culture medium for pluripotent stem cells, the medium comprising the GSK3β inhibitor 1-azakenpaullone (A) and a DYRK1A and/or DYRK1B inhibitor (B). -
Item 2. The medium according toItem 1, which is free from serum. -
Item 3. The medium according toItem -
Item 4. The medium according to any one ofItems 1 to 3, comprising only insulin and transferrin as protein components. -
Item 5. The medium according to any one ofItems 1 to 4, wherein the component (B) is at least one member selected from the group consisting of ID-8, harmine, and indirubin analogs. - Item 6. The medium according to any one of
Items 1 to 5, wherein the component (B) is ID-8. - Item 7. The medium according to any one of
Items 1 to 6, further comprising an NFAT inhibitor (C). -
Item 8. The medium according to Item 7, wherein the component (C) is tacrolimus. - Item 9. The medium according to any one of
Items 1 to 8, for culture in the absence of feeder cells. -
Item 10. The medium according to any one ofItems 1 to 9, wherein the pluripotent stem cells are from primates. - Item 11. A method for culturing pluripotent stem cells, the method using the medium of any one of
Items 1 to 10. - Item 12. A differentiation-suppressing agent for pluripotent stem cells, the agent comprising the GSK3β inhibitor 1-azakenpaullone (A) and a DYRK1A and/or DYRK1Binhibitor (B).
- The present invention provides a medium that enables the maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state over a long period of time, even without using serum or a differentiation-suppressing protein. Thus, the medium of the present invention is prepared very inexpensively, compared with existing media that contain, as essential components, serum or differentiation-suppressing proteins.
- The properties of proteins are usually highly likely to vary from lot to lot. However, the present invention, which uses fewer protein components, provides a medium with less variation in properties between lots. The present invention is thus suitable for use in cell transplantation and the like that require pluripotent stem cells with uniform properties.
- The medium of the present invention enables the growth of pluripotent stem cells at an efficiency comparable to or higher than that of existing media. This makes it possible to prepare a certain number of pluripotent stem cells at a lower cost.
- The medium of the present invention enables the maintenance of cells in an undifferentiated state and the growth of cells, even in the absence of feeder cells, to an extent comparable to that in the presence of feeder cells. Additionally, this medium may be used not only for adhesion culture, but also for suspension culture.

The term "inhibit" as used herein means not only to inhibit the enzymatic function of GSK3β, but also to reduce the amount of intracellular expression of GSK3β. This term preferably means to inhibit the enzymatic function of GSK3β. Specific examples of GSK3β inhibitors include 1-azakenpaullone, kenpaullone, CHIR99021, BIO, CID 5706819, 9-cyanopaullone, ML320, AR A014418, SB216763, SB415286, A 1070722, lithium chloride, staurosporine, GSK-3β inhibitor VI, GSK-3β inhibitor X, GSK-3β inhibitor XV, aloisine A, MeBIO, alsterpaullone, 5-iodo-indirubin-3'-monoxime, 10Z-hymenialdisine, TWS 119 ditrifluoroacetate, indirubin-5-sulfonic acid sodium salt, Ro-31-8220, manzamine A, IM-12, CESI, 3F8, TC-G 24, TCS 2002, L803, and the like. Component (A) comprises 1-azakenpaullone.

More specifically, the culture medium of the present invention comprises 1-azakenpaullone, which may be used alone, or in a combination of two or three or more.
- The DYRK inhibitor is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound that acts to inhibit DYRKs (dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinases), or as long as it is a compound known to be used to inhibit DYRKs. The term "inhibit" as used herein means not only to inhibit the enzymatic function of DYRKs, but also to reduce the amount of intracellular expression of DYRKs.

- The medium of the present invention is usually prepared by mixing a basal medium with the component (A) and component (B).
- The basal medium is not particularly limited as long as it is usable as a basal medium for culture of pluripotent stem cells, and usually contains magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, iron, and like standard inorganic salts, buffering agents, glucose, vitamins, essential amino acids, and the like. Specific examples include Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), minimal essential medium (MEM), basal medium eagle (BME), RPMI1640, F-10, F-12, α-minimal essential medium (αMEM), Glasgow's minimal essential medium (GMEM), Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium (IMDM), and the like. Of these, DMEM/F-12 is preferable.
- The basal medium may further contain a buffering agent, such as HEPES, a nonessential amino acid, an antioxidant agent, and the like. Examples of nonessential amino acids include L-glutamine, L-alanine, L-asparagine, L-aspartic acid, L-glutamine acid, glycine, L-proline, L-serine, and the like, with L-glutamine and the like being preferable. Examples of antioxidant agents include ascorbic acid, 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, and the like, with ascorbic acid and the like being preferable. The concentrations of these components may be adjusted to known concentrations that are used in culture of pluripotent stem cells.
- From the viewpoint of achieving more efficient pluripotent stem cell growth, the medium of the present invention preferably further contains an NFAT inhibitor (C) (hereinafter abbreviated as "the component (C)").
- The NFAT inhibitor is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound that acts to inhibit NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells) or calcineurin, or as long as it is a compound known to be used to inhibit NFAT or calcineurin. The term "inhibit" as used herein means not only to inhibit the enzymatic function of NFAT or calcineurin, but also to reduce the amount of intracellular expression of NFAT or calcineurin. This term preferably means to inhibit the enzymatic function of NFAT or calcineurin. Specifically, NFAT inhibitors may be tacrolimus (FK506), cyclosporin A, AM404, UR-1505, CN585, sirolimus (rapamycin), endothall, FMPP, tyrphostins, VIVIT 480402, INCA (1, 2, 6), Lie120, Roc-1, NCI3, thiopental, ST1959 (DL111-IT), quercetin, tropisetron, trifluoperazine, PD144795, norcantharidin, ascomycin (FKBP12) and the like. Of these, from the viewpoint of achieving more stable maintenance of an undifferentiated state or more efficient cell growth, tacrolimus and the like are preferable. These may be commercially available products, or may be those synthesized in accordance with known information.
- The component (C) may be used alone, or in a combination of two or three or more.
- The concentration of the component (C) in the medium differs depending on the type of the component (C), and is, for example 10 to 3000 pM, preferably 50 to 2000 pM, more preferably 100 to 1500 pM, still more preferably 200 to 1000 pM, and furthermore preferably 250 to 750 pM.
- The medium of the present invention may contain a differentiation-suppressing protein, serum, or a serum alternative component, if necessary.
- The differentiation-suppressing proteins are not particularly limited as long as they are a factor that acts to maintain pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state, or as long as they are a factor known to be used to maintain pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state. Examples include bFGF, TGFβ superfamily members (e.g., activin and nodal), LIF, Wnt, and the like. The concentration of differentiation-suppressing protein may be adjusted to a known concentration that is used in culture of pluripotent stem cells. The differentiation-suppressing proteins may be used alone, or in a combination of two or three or more.
- In general, these differentiation-suppressing proteins are very expensive, and the variation of the properties between lots is larger than that of compounds. Since the medium of the present invention comprises a combination of the component (A) and component (B), the medium of the present invention , without using these differentiation-suppressing proteins, enables efficient maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state. Accordingly, From the perspective of reducing the cost of preparing the medium, or from the perspective of reducing the variation of the properties of the medium between lots, preferably, the medium of the present invention dose not contain a differentiation-suppressing protein, or preferably, when the medium of the present invention is used, a differentiation-suppressing protein dose not added to the medium of the present invention.
- The serum is not particularly limited as long as it is usable in culture of pluripotent stem cells. Examples include fetal bovine serum (FBS) and the like. The concentration of serum may be adjusted to a known concentration that is used in culture of pluripotent stem cells. The serum may be used alone, or in a combination of two or three or more.
- In general, serum is expensive, and the variation of the properties between lots is large. Without using serum, the medium of the present invention enables efficient maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state, and enables growth of cells. Accordingly, From the perspective of reducing the cost of preparing the medium, or from the perspective of reducing the variation of the properties of the medium between lots, preferably, the medium of the present invention dose not contain serum, or preferably, when the medium of the present invention is used, serum dose not added to the medium of the present invention.
- A serum alternative component refers to a component that supports the growth of pluripotent stem cells when added to a serum-free medium. Specific examples include albumins (e.g., bovine serum albumin), albumin alternative additives (e.g., bovine pituitary extract, rice hydrolysate, and fetal bovine albumin, egg albumin, human serum albumin, bovine embryo extract, AlbuMAX I (registered trademark)), transferrin, insulin, and the like. The concentration of serum alternative component may be adjusted to a known concentration that is used in culture of pluripotent stem cells. These serum alternative components may be used alone, or in a combination of two or three or more.
- In general, the variation of the properties of protein components is large between lots. Therefore, it is preferable to use minimum types of proteins when used as a serum alternative component. In this respect, the medium of the present invention enables efficient maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state, and enables growth of cells, even when the medium comprises only insulin and transferrin as the serum alternative components (or protein components). Therefore, from the viewpoint of further reducing the variation of the properties of the medium between lots, the serum alternative components (or protein components) contained in (or added at the time of culture to) the medium of the present invention are only insulin and transferrin.
- In addition to the above, the medium of the present invention may further comprise known components that can be added to a medium for pluripotent stem cells. Of these, from the viewpoint of achieving more efficient cell growth, selenium, ethanolamine, and the like, and preferably selenium and the like, may be used. The concentrations of these components may be adjusted to known concentrations that are used in culture of pluripotent stem cells.
- The medium of the present invention may be prepared in either solution or dried form. The medium in a solution form may be provided as a concentrated composition (e.g., 1x to 1000x), and may be appropriately diluted in use. The types of liquid used to dilute or dissolve the composition or medium in a solution or dried form may be easily selected from water, a buffer solution, a physiological saline, and the like, as required.
- The pH of the medium of the present invention in a solution form is usually adjusted with a pH adjuster, such as bicarbonate, to 7.0 to 8.2, preferably 7.1 to 7.8, and more preferably 7.2 to 7.5; and the osmotic pressure is adjusted with salts, such as sodium chloride, to 310 to 340 mOsm.
- The medium of the present invention is preferably sterilized to prevent contamination. Examples of the sterilization method include UV irradiation, heat sterilization, radial ray irradiation, filtration, and the like.
- The medium of the present invention is used as is or with the addition of the above components, if necessary, in culture of pluripotent stem cells (e.g., maintenance of pluripotent stem cells, passage of pluripotent stem cells, and production of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells)).
- The pluripotent stem cells to be cultured are not particularly limited as long as they are stem cells having the ability to differentiate into any of three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm). The source organism is also not particularly limited, and cells from various animals may be used, including mammals, such as humans, monkeys, mice, rats, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, cows, pigs, dogs, horses, cats, goats, and sheep, as well as birds and reptiles. Of these, it is preferable to use cells from mammals, more preferably primates, still more preferably humans, monkeys, and the like, and furthermore preferably humans. Specific examples of pluripotent stem cells include iPS cells, ES cells, EG cells, EC cells, and the like. As pluripotent stem cells, it is possible to use commercially available products or those deposited, and it is also possible to use those produced in accordance with known methods.
- Pluripotent stem cells may be cultured using the medium of the present invention in accordance with standard methods. The following describes a typical passaging procedure and culture conditions. First, grown pluripotent stem cell colonies are rinsed once or twice with PBS; next, a sufficient amount of cell detachment solution is added so as to cover the cell layer, followed by being left to stand for several minutes. A basal medium comprising PBS or serum is added thereto, and cell spheres are dissociated by pipetting. The resulting cell suspension is usually subjected to centrifugation to precipitate cells. After the supernatant is removed, the precipitated cells are resuspended in the medium, and a part thereof is seeded in a dish or in a coated dish covered with feeder cells and cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2.
- When the medium of the present invention is used to produce induced pluripotent stem cells, it is possible to obtain induced pluripotent stem cell colonies in a much more efficient manner than that of a case in which a known culture medium for pluripotent stem cells is used. The phrase "used to produce induced pluripotent stem cells" means that the medium is used as a culture medium for somatic cells to which reprogramming factors have previously been introduced.
- As a cell detachment solution, for example, a solution containing EDTA, or a solution containing dispase as an enzyme may be used. A solution containing EDTA is preferable from the viewpoint of achieving higher pluripotent stem cell viability. A solution containing dispase as an enzyme is preferable from the viewpoint of performing passage in simpler manner. The concentration of EDTA or dispase in a cell detachment solution may be determined in accordance with a known concentration used in cell culture.
- Examples of the coating components of a coated dish include vitronectin, laminin, and the like. Of these, vitronectin is preferable.
- The medium of the present invention is excellent as it enables maintenance of pluripotent stem cells in an undifferentiated state in any of adhesion culture and suspension culture. In adhesion culture, it is possible to stably maintain an undifferentiated state, even in the absence of feeder cells, to an extent comparable to that in the presence of feeder cells. Therefore, from the viewpoint of performing culture in a simpler manner, culture in the absence of feeder cells is preferable.
- The present invention is described in more detail below, with reference to Examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these Examples.
- 25 mL of a solution in which a powder DMEM/F-12 medium (D0547, produced by Sigma-Aldrich) had been diluted two-fold with water, 1.4 mL of 6% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, 0.75 mL of 1 M HEPES solution, 0.045 mL of 0.23 M ascorbic acid solution, 0.9 ML of ITS (Insulin-Transferrin-Selenium: 1 mg/ml-0.55 mg/ml-0.7 µg/ml) solution (ITS-G 41400-045, produced by Life Technologies), and 16.905 mL of water were mixed to obtain 45 mL of basal medium (340 mOsm, pH 7.2 to 7.5).
- A GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone (A3734, produced by Sigma-Aldrich), kenpaullone (1094-1, produced by BioVision), CHIR99021 (1386, produced by Axon Medchem), or BIO (B1686, produced by Sigma-Aldrich)), and a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8 (I1786, produced by Sigma-Aldrich), harmine (10010324, produced by Cayman Chemical), an indirubin analog 716 (6i) (American Chemical Society, Lett, 2014, 4, 22-26), INDY (405273, produced by Merck Millipore Corporation), L41 (MR-C0023, produced by AdipoGen), or TG003 (4336, produced by R&D Systems)) were each added singly or in combination to the basal medium to thereby obtain a medium. The following are final concentrations in the medium.

- Indirubin analog 716: 500 nM;
- INDY: 1 µM;
- L41: 500 nM; and
- TG003: 500 nM.
- Human ES cell lines KhES-1 (provided by Riken BioResource Center) were subcultured in the above medium. More specific details are below. The following culture was performed in the absence of feeder cells in a dish (vitronectin-N-coated dish) in which coating treatment was performed overnight using 1 µg of vitronectin-N (A14700 produced by Life Technologies) per 1 cm2 of the culture dish.
- ES cell colonies cultured in accordance with a standard method using a general-purpose medium for human ES cells (20% knockout serum replacement (10828-028, produced by Life Technology), 4 ng/ml of FGF2 (100-18B, produced by Peprotech)/DMEM/F-12 medium (11330-032, produced by Life Technology)) were rinsed once with PBS. A dispase solution (10 mg/ml dispase (17105041, produced by Life Technologies)/DMEM/F-12) was added thereto so as to cover the cells, followed by being left to stand for 5 minutes. The general-purpose medium for human ES cells was added, and the cell spheres were dissociated with pipetting. The obtained cell suspension was subjected to centrifugation (500 cfg, 1 minute) to precipitate the cells. After the supernatant was removed, the precipitated cells were resuspended in the above medium, and about 1/3 thereof was seeded in a vitronectin-N-coated dish and cultured in the above medium at 37°C in 5% CO2. This passaging procedure was considered to be "P1." The medium was replaced every day or every two days, and the passage was performed every three days or four days (P2, P3, P4, ...) as above.

Fig. 1 shows images of cells (uppermost row) subcultured using the medium comprising a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and images of cells (from the row second from the top to the lowermost row) subcultured using the medium comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone, kenpaullone, CHIR99021, or Bio) and a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8).Fig. 2 shows images of cells (uppermost row) subcultured using the medium comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), and images of cells (from the row second from the top to the lowermost row) subcultured using the medium comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone) and a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8, harmine,indirubin analog 716, INDY, L41, or TG003). In each figure, P1 shows images of cells taken three days after passage P1. The same applies to P2, P3, and the like. -
Figs. 1 and2 indicate that a combined use of a GSK3β inhibitor and a DYRK inhibitor enabled the maintenance of the ES cells in an undifferentiated state. Of the GSK3β inhibitors, kenpaullone and 1-azakenpaullone (in particular 1-azakenpaullone) enabled the maintenance of the ES cells in the most stable manner. Of the DYRK inhibitors, ID-8 maintained ES cells in the most stable manner. - A medium further comprising an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus (FK-506) (1007965, produced by Cayman Chemical)), in addition to a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone or kenpaullone) and a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), was prepared as in Example 1. Using this medium, subculture and cell observation were performed as in Example 1. Separately from this, passage P1 was performed using this medium, as in Example 1, followed by culturing for 6 days without performing passage. Thereafter, the number of the cells was counted in accordance with a standard method, and, based on the counted number of cells, how many times the number of the cells increased within 6 days was calculated.
-
Fig. 3A shows images of the cells, andFig. 3B show the fold increase of the cells. -
Fig. 3A indicates that ES cells are maintained in an undifferentiated state even when an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus) is further added, in addition to a GSK3β inhibitor (azakenpaullone) and a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8). Further,Fig. 3B shows that the cell growth is notably accelerated when an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus) is added, in addition to a GSK3β inhibitor (azakenpaullone) and a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8). It is also shown that 1-azakenpaullone accelerates the cell growth more than kenpaullone. - A medium (medium 1) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone) and a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and a medium (medium 2) further comprising an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus) in addition to a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone) and a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8) were prepared as in Example 1. These media were used with human ES cell lines KhES-1, human ES cell lines H9 (W09, provided by WiCell), human iPS cell lines 253G1 (HPS0002, provided by Riken BioResource Center), human iPS cell lines 201B7 (HPS0063, provided by Riken BioResource Center), and human ES cell lines H1 (W01, provided by WiCell) to perform subculture and cell observation, as in Example 1.
-
Fig. 4A shows images of the cells when medium 1 was used.Fig. 4B shows images of the cells when medium 2 was used. -
Figs. 4A and 4B indicate that bothmedia - ES cells and iPS cells from males are known to be distinguished from ES cells and iPS cells from females in terms of the epigenetic states and gene expression patterns (e.g., Cell Reports (2014) 8: 923-932, Cell Stem Cell (2012) 11(1): 75-90, Annu. Rev. Genomics Hum. Genet. (2013) 14:85-110). In general, possibly due to this fact, it is believed to be more difficult to maintain ES cells and iPS cells from males in an undifferentiated state, compared with ES cells and iPS cells from females. Of the cell lines used in this Example, the human ES cell lines H1 were from males; however, with the use of
media - Undifferentiated marker expression in the cells after long-term culture of Example 3 was analyzed. The details are below.
- The expression of undifferentiated markers (OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), SSEA-3, SSEA-4, TRA1-81, and TRA1-60) in the human ES cell lines KhES-1 maintained up to passage P50 (Example 3), the human iPS cell lines 201B7 maintained up to passage P20 (Example 3), the human ES cell lines H9 maintained up to passage P30 (Example 3), and the human iPS cell lines 253G1 maintained up to passage P20 (Example 3) was detected by immunostaining performed in accordance with a standard method using the medium (Example 3) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus). (The following are the primary antibodies used: OCT4 (Sc-5279, produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:200 dilution), SOX2 (Sc-17320, produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:100 dilution), NANOG (4903 produced by Cell Signaling Technology, 1:100 dilution), SSEA-3 (Sc-21703 produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:50 dilution), SSEA-4 (Sc-59368, produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:50 dilution), TRA-1-81 (Sc-21705, produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:50 dilution), TRA-1-60 (Sc-21706, produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:50 dilution), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (VECTOR Blue Alkaline Phosphatase Substrate Kit, SK-5300, produced by VECTOR Laboratories). The secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor 488 or 594 antibodies, produced by Life Technologies, corresponding to each of the primary antibodies, 1:400 dilution.)
- The expression of undifferentiated markers (OCT4, SSEA-4) in the human ES cell lines KhES-1 maintained up to passage P26 (Example 3) and the human ES cell lines H9 maintained up to passage P17 (Example 3) was detected by flow cytometry (BDFACS CANT II, produced by Becton Dickinson) in accordance with a standard method using the medium (Example 3) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus). (The following are the primary antibodies used: OCT4 (Sc-5279, produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:100 dilution) and SSEA-4 (Sc-59368, produced by Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1:100 dilution). The secondary antibodies were Alexa Fluor 488 antibodies produced by Life Technologies corresponding to each of the primary antibodies, 1:1000 dilution.)
- The karyotypes of the human ES cell lines KhES-1 maintained up to passage P49 (Example 3), the human ES cell lines H9 maintained up to passage P33 (Example 3), and the human iPS cell lines 253G1 maintained up to passage P25 (Example 3) were analyzed using a G-band method performed in accordance with a standard method using the medium (Example 3) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus).
-
Fig. 5A shows the results of immunostaining,Fig. 5B shows the results of flow cytometry, andFig. 5C shows the results of karyotype analysis. InFig. 5B , the left-side peaks in the two-dimensional plots represent peaks of negative controls in which the primary antibodies were not used, while the right-side peaks represent peaks in which the primary antibodies were used. -
Figs. 5A and 5B confirm the expression of undifferentiated markers even after the long-term culture. Further,Fig. 5C confirms no change in the karyotypes even after the long-term culture. These results indicate that an undifferentiated state is maintained very stably with the use of a medium comprising a GSK3β inhibitor and a DYRK inhibitor in combination. - Existing media and the medium (Example 3) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus) were compared in terms of the pluripotent stem cell growth rate and undifferentiated marker expression amount. The details are below.
- The following were prepared as existing culture media for pluripotent stem cells: an mTeSR1 medium (05850, produced by Stem Cell Technology); an E8 medium (05940, produced by Stem Cell Technology); and a Wnt3A- and ID-8-containing medium. The Wnt3A- and ID-8-containing medium was prepared by adding Wnt3A (315-20 produced by Peprotech) to a final concentration of 10 ng/mL and further adding ID-8 to a final concentration of 500 nM, to the basal medium produced in Example 1.
- Human ES cell lines KhES-1 were subcultured using each medium, as in Example 1. The cells were seeded at each passage (every 3 days) so that about 20% of the bottom surface (3.80 cm2) of each well was covered by the cells, and the split at this time was recorded. Passage was performed up to passage P5, and the average split of passages P1 to P5 was calculated.
- Human ES cell lines KhES-1 were subcultured using each medium, as in Example 1. The expression of undifferentiated markers (OCT4, SSEA-4) in the cells maintained up to passage P30 was detected by flow cytometry, as in Example 4.
- Human ES cell lines KhES-1 were subcultured using each medium, as in Example 1. The expression of undifferentiated markers (OCT4, SSEA-4) in the cells maintained up to passage P5 was detected by quantitative PCR in accordance with a standard method. Separately from this, the undifferentiated markers were also detected in cells (control) that were cultured on feeder cells in a similar manner.
-
Fig. 6A shows the measurement results of growth rate,Fig. 6B shows the results of undifferentiated marker detection by flow cytometry, andFig. 6C shows the results of undifferentiated marker detection by quantitative PCR. -

Further,Figs. 6B and 6C indicate that an undifferentiated state is maintained stably with the use of the medium comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus), to an extent comparable to that with the use of existing media; and further, to an extent comparable to that in culture performed on feeder cells. - Human ES cell lines KhES-1 or human ES cell lines H9 were subcultured, as in Example 1, in a vitronectin-N coated dish, in a dish (Synthemax-coated dish) in which coating treatment was performed overnight using 5 µg of Synthemax (Synthemax (registered trademark) II-SC substrate A14700, produced by Corning) per 1 cm2 of the culture dish, or in a dish (Laminin 511 E8-coated dish) in which coating treatment was performed overnight using 1 µg of Laminin 511 E8 (iMatrix-511 892001, produced by Nippi) per 1 cm2 of the culture dish.
- Human ES cell lines KhES-1 or human ES cell lines H9 were subcultured, as in Example 1, using an EDTA solution (0.5 mM EDTA/PBS) or a dispase solution (10 mg/mL dispase/basal medium) as a cell detachment solution used for passage.
-

Fig. 7A indicates that ES cells are maintained in an undifferentiated state even when Synthemax or Laminin 511 E8 is used as a coating component. The vitronectin-N, in particular, maintained ES cells most stably. -
Fig. 7B indicates that ES cells are maintained in an undifferentiated state with the use of any of the EDTA solution or dispase solution as a cell detachment solution. When the EDTA solution was used, the passaging procedure was somewhat difficult, although the ES cell viability tended to be high. In contrast, when the dispase solution was used, the cell viability tended to be low, although the passaging procedure was easy. - Human ES cell lines KhES-1 were suspension-cultured in accordance with a standard method using the medium (Example 3) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus); an mTeSR1 medium; or an E8 medium.

Fig. 8B shows the results. -
Fig. 8B shows that the growth rate in the suspension culture in the medium comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus) is comparable to the growth rate in existing media. - Further, the expression of undifferentiated markers (OCT4, SOX2, NANOG) in the cells maintained up to passage P7 was detected by quantitative PCR performed in accordance with a standard method.
Fig. 8C shows the expression amount of each undifferentiated marker as a relative value relative to the expression amount with the use of an mTeSR1 medium. -
Fig. 8C shows that the degree of expression of the undifferentiated markers when suspension culture was performed in the medium comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus) was comparable to the degree of expression in existing media. - iPS cells were produced using the medium (Example 3) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus); or using an E8 medium. Then, the production efficiency, the form of colonies, and the expression of undifferentiated markers were analyzed. The details are below.
- iPS cells were produced from human fetal fibroblasts (HDF-f, 2300, ScienCell), based on the methods disclosed in documents regarding iPS production (Nature Methods (2011) 8: 424-429, Nature Protocol 7 (2012): 2029-2040).
Fig. 9A shows its scheme. OnDay 0, a reprogramming factor (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, c-MYC, LIN28, and SV40LargeT) expression episomal vector (pEB-C5 or pEB-Tg (Cell Research (2011) 21: 518-529)) was transfected into human fetal fibroblasts in accordance with a standard method. Subsequently, culture was performed until Day 6-9 in an E8 medium to which sodium butyrate (final concentration in the medium: 100 µM) and hydrocortisone (final concentration in the medium: 100 nM) had been added; or in the medium (Example 3) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus) to which sodium butyrate (final concentration in the medium: 100 µM) and hydrocortisone (final concentration in the medium: 100 nM) had been added. From Day 6-9, hydrocortisone was removed from both of the media, TGFβ was further removed from the E8 medium, and culture was performed until Day 20-25. The cells in culture wells were stained with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in accordance with a standard method, and the number of ALP-positive colonies was counted. The value obtained by dividing this counted value by the number of cells transfected with a reprogramming factor expression vector was considered to be the iPS cell production efficiency. - After the production of iPS cells, colonies were picked up and cultured using an E8 medium or the medium (Example 3) comprising a GSK3β inhibitor (1-azakenpaullone), a DYRK inhibitor (ID-8), and an NFAT inhibitor (tacrolimus) for 60 days in accordance with a standard method. After the culture, images of the cells were observed. Further, the expression of undifferentiated markers (OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, ALP, SSEA-3, SSEA-4, TRA1-81, and TRA1-60) was detected by immunostaining as in Example 4.
-
Fig. 9B shows images of ALP staining,Fig. 9C shows the iPS production efficiency,Fig. 9D shows the observation results of the form of colonies, andFig. 9E shows the results of immunostaining. InFig. 9C , #1 and #2 are the results of different wells. -
Figs. 9B and 9C indicate that the use of the medium of the present invention enabled the production of iPS cells much more efficiently (about 40 times more efficiently) than the existing media. Further, in view ofFigs. 9D and 9E , the iPS cells produced using the medium of the present invention had a normal form, and the expression of the undifferentiated markers was also confirmed.
